From: Brent on 25 May 2010 21:33 Cop, speeding (86 in a 40) to a collision scene after taking time out to get cleaned up and having something to eat (don't cops always say 'leave earlier'?) kills two women (yes, scott, old women in a buick) as they turned left but didn't see him, because well, he was moving way faster than the sight lines (a small rise kept the buick out of view). Of course he suffers no penalities for this, yet if any of us were to drive 86 in a 40 and have a collision it would be prison time. The cop is out writing speeding tickets to safe drivers again.

Before showing the dashcam video, and ad was shown; one of those PSA lecturing about the dangers of texting while driving. Maybe they ought to make a PSA about the dangers of driving on the same road as the cops in UT. -- "Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law?
